Abstract: This paper deals with the quasi-static analysis of transient thermal stresses in the linear theory of viscoelastic solids with temperature-dependent properties. The underlying constitutive law rests ...

Abstract: The problem posed by the diffusion of load from an infinite edge-stiffener into a semi-infinite elastic sheet is reconsidered under two alternative refinements of the underlying stiffener model. ...

Abstract: This paper contains an exact solution for the transient temperature distribution, as well as for the accompanying quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations, which arise in an infinitely long ...
